• Description:
  Objective: The aim of this study was to assess whether tobacco policy, program, and communication evidence-based practice implementation is associated with employee tobacco outcomes [current smoking; quit attempt; smokeless tobacco (SLT) use; and perceived worksite support for cessation] at small low-wage worksites. Methods: We analyzed data from a randomized controlled trial testing an intervention to increase implementation of evidence-based health promotion practices. We used generalized estimating equations to examine relationships between practice implementation and tobacco outcomes. Results: Communication practice implementation was associated with better perceived worksite support for cessation (P = 0.027). Policy and program implementation were associated with increased odds of being a current SLT user; these findings should be interpreted with caution given small sample sizes. Conclusion: Tobacco communication evidence-based practice implementation was associated with favorable perceptions of worksite support for cessation; more may be needed to change tobacco use behavior.
